. Jim Henson's The Storyteller: The Definitive Collection [1988] (REGION 1) (NTSC)starring: Michael Gambon, Brian Henson, Mark Ashman, Frances Barber, Barbara Barnes directed by: David Garfath, John Madden, Paul Weiland, Tony Smith Release Date May 23, 2006 If you know the Storyteller series it's probably the famous nine programmes made with John Hurt as the tale-teller.

"You Gods who watch all things! Hear my cries! Mark my tears! Let the sky fall on him! The sea swallow him! The earth drown him! He abandoned me!!" - Well they do say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! But nonetheless, THE most literate curse youll ever hear. Now, i was very young when i saw this, but actually it was never an issue coz the language is literate, yet simple enough that children can understand it. They should not be deprived ...
